Tip: Check your car by VIN

With the Challenger, Charger and Dakota models manufactured between 2009-2016, problems with the airbag inflators were reported. In addition, the Charger from 2014 – 2018 had one more recall because of the universal joint on the front power transmission shaft, which may be defective and could break.

How can you check the recalls by VIN?

Even if you don’t see your car in the table below, it doesn’t mean it was not the subject of a recall sometime in the past. The best way to verify whether a particular car is affected by some recall is to contact a Dodge Authorized Service and ask for the VIN code to be checked not only for recalls but also for various Service bulletins.

It will only cost you your time because such information is provided for free. Free of charge are usually also all the repairs that are related to the recall. It doesn’t matter whether you are the first, second or even third owner. It doesn’t even matter whether you have been to Dodge authorized service regularly, occasionally or never before.
